So, if you haven't gotten your flu shot yet, I highly recommend it. This year's strain hit me really hard. Likely because I am immunosuppressed, but still...
On a somewhat related note, I will be travelling all this week, so posting will be in the evenings only.

You all better now, or still a bit bleh? :(
I accidentally drank something that was past its expiration date. While recovering from that, I caught the flu. My immune system's pretty good, so the whole ordeal luckily took me just a few days to get over.

I am better now, thank goodness. Took me several days to be human again. I really was starting to think that I was going to be patient 0 in the zombie apocalypse.
I remember when my immune system was good. I miss those days. My urchins bring home everything under the sun.

If you can't take a joke, you should never have had kiddies. :)

On a personal note: I've been going through a near-crippling bout of depression recently. It has been all I can do to function at work and at home with the kids. As soon as they are in bed, I shut down. I apologize that that has made my contributions here a little scattered. things are improving and hopefully they'll continue to.

Depression is brutal. You've got a lot on your plate. If you need to take a break from either of my games that you're in feel free. It's a multi-year commitment and I have no problems with the odd vacation.

On another note, we're using insanity rules, which I was going to reveal when someone actually failed a check.
Level+Wisdom Modifier = Insanity score. So Lena's is 9, Whiskey's is 14.
When you encounter creature or events that can mess with your mind, you make a will save, and take damage to that score. If your insanity level reaches 0, you go mad in a way we'll work out together.
This damage cannot be removed without high-level clerical magic, ditto for the madness.

Point of order. How do we tell if eldon is crazy?
Whiskeyjack, I suffer from depression myself. It's a little clichéd, but Hang in there. We all appreciate you and your contributions, and I'm certain there are others.

I've dealt with my share of depression. Had a bit recently that threw me off because I couldn't figure out why. Turns out I wasn't getting enough sleep. Hang in there and let others help when they can and remember that you are not going to always feel like this.
Dan Harmon had some pretty good thoughts on this a few weeks back on twitter if you care to find it.

FYI, I am heading out of town for a 2-day business trip this afternoon. Then, starting Saturday I will be away from a computer and unable to post until Jan 3.
So, if you need me before then, please feel free to bot. In the meantime, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Hey guys as we're hitting the holidays you'll notice that my posts are a little irregular. I'm going to just say that I'm on part-time GM duty until the new year - so I'll post, but only when I get around to it ;) Thanks folks, and enjoy the holidays!

Annd no post again. I'm feeling like hell but I'll get on top of things as soon as I'm better. thanks for your patience.

Just want to let everyone know that I am traveling next week for a MAJOR test/evaluation event for a software product my company develops. In the leadup to that, I am going to be really busy at work, and at home, prepping for the week-long trip. I may not be able to post reliably until after I am back.

Which part of California?
Also sorry for the long silence. Been dealing with something at work that caused more stress and anxiety then I had expected. Should be fine and posting should be back to normal for now.

Well it's 37 degrees centigrade here, and 85% humidity, so its warmish here as well.

Dear people,
I'm currently recovering from a nasty case of the flu. As I'm also in the process of moving out of my parents' house, my posts will be incredibly sporadic or even non-existent for the time being. They may even stay so for a while after I stop feeling icky, because of the many things I'll have to do to make my house livable.
Due to the nature of my work and inability to take days off (except when icky), it may take roughly a week or three before I'll be able to resume posting normally.
Hoping for your understanding,
Stephan

I'll put you both on autopilot until we resume normal service. Thanks for the heads up.

Wow, you go away for a while and everything changes.
Well, after huge amounts of rain, lightning and thunder, and my car getting wreaked by a guy who decided he didn't need to look, I'm back. Sorry for the delay.

![]() |

Well, I was not hurt, though my car certainly was. :(

No, not at all. It was fairly low velocity, I was doing about 30km/hr, and he was backing out of his driveway. Really wish he had being paying attention, or I was psychic. :)

Really sucks... Gladly never had the same, some scratches but never hit or been hit by another car. (on the bike however... Many maaany times...)
